We prefer epoxy.

Morning all. So today I have been tasked with conformally coating a few of our first run PCBs for a new product line. The problem is that they have already had all the larger caps potted with RTV. Are there any problems with spraying the CC over the

Well that doesnt sound very promising. What im going to do is make sure these two boards I just coated (with the RTV already cured) will be used in house only. In the future we will do any conformal coating operations before potting with whatever mat

If you apply the RTV after coating, what happens to bond strength since you are now bonding to the coating and not the board? Will the caps still survive vibration and shock? I specify applying RTV before coating for this reason. Am I correct? I als

We understand the problem of trying to coat over RTV. We have seen the same problem with acrylic and urethane coatings not wanting to stick to RTV. Some acrylics seem to be worse than urethane. Since this is a new product, may be you could pot your

Common RTV does out-gas causing corrosion. NASA allows use of non/low-out-gassing RTV. Try the following companies: * Ablestik Electronic: Materials, 20021 Susana Road, Rancho Dominguez, California 90221 U.S.A., 310-764.4600, F 310-764-2545 * Arlon

Hi Davef, Thanks...Saw 1 of your thread that you posted : Thanks for providing... From davef : There are many possibilities: * Conformal coat is incompatible with surface residue on the board * Conformal coat is incompatible with solder mask on the

Why in heavens name are you using a heat or air cure conformal coating. Why aren't you using a 100% solids UV cure system. You would never have an issue like this Sam Forman MicroCoat Technologies

Hi Davef, The bubbles occurs at the body also...there's also a washing process before the conformal coating:-the Flux residue are removed after washing. ... The curing profile is also something that we are looking into during the initial troubles

Since the bubbles: * Are only on the solder connection, we'd guess there must be some compatibility issue between the flux residues and the conformal coat materials. * Occur after curing, we'd guess the cure recipe is too rapid and is entrapping voli
